Riassunto

Excerpt from Notes on the Life of Noah Webster, Vol. 2

I should have, with pleasure attended to your request. In relation to your dictionary, but untill this day I have not been able to procure a copy. Your preface, I have perused with great satisfaction, and could wish that you had pushed your remarks and enquiries on the analogies and etymology of the language farther. Many of your observa tions are both new and just and interesting. This is a subject for which I have no inconsiderable taste but other pursuits have not left me, at leisure, to cultivate it.

I believe there is a disposition in the men of literary inclinations in this neighbourhood to treat this work with more indulgence than they have been usually inclined to extend to attempts of a kin to this, which have been made, in this country. I have, however, some little doubt of inviting newspaper notice of it until it has gotten into more hands, which it will in a short period I think, gradually. Some man of sarcastic temperature may thereby be stimulated to exercise himself upon it and thus give it a temporary unpopularity. The natural and slow progress of just reputation will, in a little time deter adventurers in this way, and secure the quickest and surest harvest both of reputation 8: pecuniary profit.
